Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Thursday had a tough message for fellow Republicans who were wrestling with how to fund the Homeland Security Department: “Grow a spine.”
Jindal spoke as House Republicans were considering a short-term funding fix to prevent a partial agency shutdown. To party activists huddled near Washington at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Jindal lashed out at a potential reversal of campaign pledges to derail President Barack Obama’s immigration overhaul.

“The Republicans are about to wave the white flag of surrender on amnesty,” Jindal said. “We have to tell them that we won’t stand for that.”
